Method

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly each chicken breast to create a pocket and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix diced pears with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until combined.
Fill each chicken breast pocket with the pear and cheese mixture.
Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
